Bright and Blustery Dartmoor

We snatched a window of sunshine the other day and went up to Dartmoor for a quick walk to blow away the cobwebs.

We somehow haven't been up there since the winter and it was wonderful seeing the contrast to the winter moor.  Everything was beautifully green, spotted haphazardly with freshly shorn sheep and sprinkled with tiny flowers, and the wizened, wind-swept trees were covered in a blanket of green leaves clinging desperately to the crinkled bark and gnarled branches.

We managed to avoid the rain but there was a pretty stiff breeze going which blew up along the paths and harried the tops of the tors.

I managed too to collect a little snapshot of the summer Dartmoor.

We returned to the car minutes before the clouds rolled in and the rain began, a perfectly grabbed opportunity!
